The World At Large.

In keeping with a suggested post [sort of], I want to elaborate. Adam loved Star Wars, but exactly what appeals to him and thousands of other jedi loving fans? I really believe its the conncections we draw with characters in a movie that set the pace for our feelings about it. For example, the scene where Obi Wan is fighting Anakin, I honestly was upset because I connected with the fighting of friends. Kevin's entire blog is loosely based upon O.C. references. Speaking of the O.C., its no wonder most of us love it. There is a stereotype everywhere to identify with. Why do some people love action movies and others like science fiction? Or both? Art as a form of expression is so heavily dependent on consumer satisfaction these days, how do you appeal to a mass demographic that demands identification? Some sacrifice of artistic principle is often neccessary. Those of you who are in my Sound class heard this discussion already, not sure how I got here, but might as well go on. In recorded music, todays technology allows for talentless people to become rich off of some heavily edited albums. Where do you draw the line between what is music and what is fake? Or is it about money? Or is it about appeal? Lets face it, the largest market for music in the U.S. is teenagers, and they don't pick up the third movement of Mozarts 40th to deal with their stress (well not all of them). Opinions?
